I have no problem with people criticizing his views (I disagreed with him on almost everything), even though it borders on unseemly in light of his recent assassination, but there is no place for expressing joy over the killing of another human being because you disagree politically, or even worse, gleefully expressing your hope that other political enemies are targeted next. These people are really ghoulish and pathetic, sad human beings who have clearly lost their way.

Sorry, Josh, I know you signed here to be a targeted WR with a top-flight QB, but our coach wants to mirror the offense of the Kordell Stewart-era Pittsburgh Steelers. Enjoy your three targets a week, though!
You can't be serious. We had nearly 500 yards of offense and our starting receivers had 237 yards between them.

I am in shock of the reaction to this dude getting killed as well. Here is what you asked for.
You're right. I hate the whataboutism. There are loons celebrating violence on both sides. We must denounce all political violence if we want to continue living in a peaceful and free society.

This thread is really eye-opening. Average blokes that you shoot the s--- with on football can still be this radicalized and full of hate.
I had a 70-something grandma in my store at work last month tell me she wished someone would finally take out Trump. It's all funny til it's not.
My 70 year old father has been begging for all 2nd Amendment advocates to be shot for years. It's amazing how otherwise normal and healthy people can be driven to extremes by politics.

This ***** is disturbing. Just watch what? Let us know.
He's not kidding. There is a huge cohort of young Gen Z men who are deeply resentful and willing to act out violently if activated. We desperately need good-hearted unifying leadership in this country and unfortunately that is nowhere to be found.

I checked out the responses on BlueSky and TikTok and there are thousands of people celebrating his death. I didn't agree with his politics, but at least he was always willing to sit down with anyone and have a civil conversation. I don't want to go overboard and we have no information on the shooter, but it's hard not to feel like we are slipping into some dark times.

if i recall, its also supposed to weight the 4th Q heavier than the 1st 3 (which is another flaw because it can overinflate garbage time).
QBR was created at a time when ESPN was trying figure out a way to incorporate Vick's rushing/scrambling ability into the QB metrics - which I do think at the time was needed because the mobile QB was evolving. I just think that it is too simplistic now that we've reached this era of QB play
Argh...my ADD got me there. Thought we were discussing actual quarterback rating, not QBR. As for the total QBR, looks like Josh probably got dinged for his rushing ypc and just the pure amount of "plays" the he was credited with?
-
It's mostly an efficiency metric and seems to heavily weigh yards per attempt, so it makes sense that Lamar was rated higher. It doesn't measure clutchness or the quality of your throws and is no substitute for the eye test.
-
I think this is going to be a tough one for sure. Jets look improved and they will be hungry and desperate, whereas we are coming off an emotional victory. I think they'll muck things up and make it an ugly dogfight.

Finally watched the game last night (missed it live since I was at the Goos concert in LA) and what struck me was how easy and almost boring that 4th quarter performance from Josh looked. Just pitch and catch with your buddies in the back yard. He's so good at this point I almost take plays like that throw to Palmer for granted.
-
Lamar is awesome. Josh being a HOF talent doesn't mean we should find reasons to bash Lamar. Lamar and Josh are the top 2 in the league at this point and I pretty much consider them equals (obviously, I prefer Josh). Kudos to both guys as they have continually shut up their early detractors/doubters.

God I love watching the Chiefs lose.

I live down here in Baltimore and none of them are worried about the game against the Bills. They all expect to win. Some fans called in to say they are making t-shirts to go to the game that say "City of Losers" and has reference to the 4 SB losses.
I don't know if it's the Josh MVP or what, but they act like that ex-gf who says they don't care anymore, but can't stop talking about us.
It's twofold.
The Josh/Lamar thing is a big part of it - feeling like Lamar gets disrespected vis a vis Josh (despite winning two MVPs, huh?).
And there's the issue of having lost the two playoff games vs the Bills when they felt they had the better team and have largely dominated us during the regular season of late outside of the 2nd half of the game in Balt in 2022. Kind of how we've handled KC during the regular season, but can't get by them in January.

This is definitely right. Amari Cooper was a good NFL receiver. But he had the ability to be even better and never achieved that.
I thought Cooper was a generational talent coming out of Alabama. He was so dominant as a junior.
-
I got the sense that he enjoyed the culture, teammates and fans in Buffalo, but he no longer enjoyed the football itself.

Absolutely the 89 game against the Dolphins. That was when I officially knew we were in for a special run.

I use the site somewhat regularly, because I do not value the content enough to pay for it. (I pay for the NFL+ app and just watch the games as soon as they conclude). Most of the time I'll use a site like StreamEast for a game or event that I'm only moderately interested in (say, the odd baseball or college football game). Now that's it's shut down, I just won't watch it. I'm guessing that's the case for the majority of streamers.

I like the signing.
And since ESPN already announced that we are winning the Super Bowl this season, I'd like to see us sign some other former Bills to the PS. How about Kelly, Thurm, Andre and Bruce?

I like them. Sort of a UB Bulls vibe. Obviously, nowhere near as good as our regular design, but I know one thing: they are 10,000x better than the monstrosities we wore from 2002-2010.

I think we've upgraded the defense and receiver room and should be better (though record may be worse). I think we're the second best team in the conference, but I have this nagging feeling that it is going to be the Ravens' year. I just think they are clearly the best team in the conference.

Yes that's what carrying an unreliable defense looks like
and unreliable is being kind
Josh had the ball in his hands the last two years with under 3 minutes to play and came away with 0 points both times. That has nothing to do with an "unreliable" defense. Don't get me wrong, I love Josh, but the offense didn't deliver when we needed it to the past two years in that situation.

Since Allen has been in the league, the Bills have averaged allowing 19 PPG in the 9 postseason games when they aren’t playing the Chiefs. They have averaged allowing 33 PPG in the 4 games when they are. Is it just a giant coincidence that the Bills only forget how to play defense against the Chiefs, or could it possibly be that Mahomes and company are just on another level when the season is on the line?
Obviously, the Chiefs and Mahomes are great, but they seem to overperform against the Bills defense compared to their playoff outputs against other teams. Not sure if it's personally motivated or just a scheme/matchup thing. But the Bills D does suck against the Chiefs in the postseason and the Chiefs offense does inordinately excel against the Bills D in those games. Just the facts.

Yeah, I kind of need a little break from roster talk.
I think at this stage of their careers, Allen is the better downfield passer and clearly the better runner (although Pat is a good scrambler when he needs to be and certainly has a good downfield arm when he uses it).. However, I think many of us have seen that Mahomes is the better dink and dunker. He's always been. At the end of those close playoff games when KC needs a critical TD or FG, it's the dink and dunk plus Andy Reid play call mastery that gives KC a slight edge. We've had two seasons in a row end with the ball in our hands, and the Bills can't take what the D gives and execute a short dump off to get the needed yardage. I'm just wondering if the Bills start working on that more this season,,, or maybe they keep some plays in their back pocket for critical playoff moments.
It's annoying because we've seen games where Josh has done this masterfully, but it almost seems like he has to place himself in that mindset from the get go or his primitive hero brain takes over.
Edit: And I don't mean "Sugar High Josh" or turnover prone play - he's clearly cleaned up that aspect. Just more - taking the easiest play during crunch time instead of waiting for something bigger to develop.

Yep, pretty common modern story. Socially awkward kid spends too much time isolated or online at the very same time his mental illness begins to emerge. Almost every one of our high profile shooters fits this bill and it really has nothing to do with political ideology.
